Beta experience: All editing experience comes from both writing fanfiction and short stories. Various stories within fandoms such as The Walking Dead and others have been completed over the last 3 years, and I have usually been asked to be "a second pair of eyes" for various stories rather than asked to be an editor itself. This being said, I am happy to provide constructive criticisms, grammar and plot advice, as well as help with punctuation and sentence structure if interested.

Beta experience: I currently beta for two of my friends, both here and on AO3. I have also betaed numerous one shots and multi chapters.
Story types/topics I will not beta: I'm pretty laid back. If a subject arose I was uncomfortable reading we would discuss it.
Additional Comments: I add notes. Sometimes lots of them lol. I'm very honest, so if you're looking for someone to tell you your story's great and doesn't need any work then I'm probably not the beta for you. I really want to help people get the most out of their stories, so if you don't mind some constructive criticism send me a PM.

Additional Comments: Something of a savant when it comes to spotting spelling/grammatical errors; I can read quickly for proofing purposes - I'm not overly into AU or baby fics, but I will proof them for spelling - I just won't have much for you in the way of plot/constructive feedback.
